what I find interesting is that the Christian bible's 6000 years old right? A God created a garden & made the people he put in it ignorant & made it a crime for them to obtain knowledge right? Then along comes the "serpent" & tells the people that knowledge is their right & not bad at all & they should learn about the world & life & themselves & generally get an education, that their "god" is just petty & small & scared of what they'll find if they obtain knowledge. So isn't it interesting that the 60,000 year old God/Creator of Australia is the "Rainbow Serpent". Has anyone ever thought about that & thought about who the REAL God in the bible story likely is? Although I guess that would be a crime in Christianity, to think & obtain knowledge like that, wouldn't it

The Spanish-American war was to generate more assets and property for Americans; the Vietnam and Korean wars were to prevent and terrorize the global working class from rising up against their oppressors. And the domestic issues of incarceration and commercialization/commodification of Hawaii itself as a tourist attraction is all in the name of reducing the native Hawaiian's right to their home and convert it into property to generate capital for American businessmen.

I am Native Hawaiian, just want inform everyone about the misinterpretation of the word "colonialism." Hawai'i is not a colonized nation but rather an OCCUPIED country! Colonization and illegally occupation are very different definitions. For example, Native Americans or Native Alaskans would be considered a colonized people because they weren't recognize as an independent nation. On the other hand, Hawaiians got recognized by many foreign European countries thus Hawai'i gained it's independence in 1843 until the overthrow in 1893. Therefore Hawaiians do not fall under the category of colonialism.

[@strawberryoes]

i see what you mean, but ... under all that, isn't it still giving the ... final say on the terminology and state of things to the OCCUPIERS/COLONISERS? i would vote the oppressors don't get a say. it's not by any particular superior virtue that Hawaiians were recognised as as independent while natives of other places were not. it's not like the natives in the places that have been colonised were like "wooo yeah let's get taken advantage of and murdered by these guys, sweet!" while Hawaiians said no thanks. i feel like i am explaining myself very poorly, my words are failing me, but i hope my point is understandable. ///// basically "For example, Native Americans or Native Alaskans would be considered a colonized people because they weren't recognize as an independent nation. " the only real reason they weren't but hawaii was is basically on the whim of the invading whites. they were still invading, still ARE...

As a Haoli (white mainlander), moving to Hawaii Kai in 5th grade was a real eye opener about our cultural heritages. The vitriol disgust and hate thrown at me forced me to do 2 things: 1. Learn to fight 2. Understand the cultural devastation that my Government and the corrupt white businessman. Even importing workers when the # of available workers were too low after warfare and genocidal practices... After 6 months, I was finally assimilated enough that I was finally, truly, a local. Hawaii is a unique and beautiful paradise! Currently, the island are being gobbled up rich , elites, and corporations. So, before , you profess to be an expert about hunting and various odd topics that ppl are discussing here,, please learn the extended history of the Hawaiian Islands. Mahalo and Aloha 👨‍👩‍👦
